Johnson & Co. is one of the oldest established 1'inns in the city and Mr. Johnson located iu Salem about 34 years ago, moving here from I,elianon. The store opened for business at 141 North Commercial street, the present lo cation, about 27 years ago. The firm is composed of G. W. Johnson, Sr., and his two sons, Clyde K. Johnson and Paul V. Johnson. Another son, Oscar M. Johnson, now deceased, was formerlv associated with the firm but later open- j ett up a stoic ot .his own which was sold out to Brick Brothers. The new store in the bunk building will be entirely remodeled before it is occupied by the Johnson company. There will be two entrances, one from Com mercial street and another from the main lobby of tho building. Tho room is much larger than tho present quarters of the company and will allow the firm to increase their stock uud also permit a better display. The Johnson lease on their present store room has not yet expired and when negotiations were on w ith Mr. Compton, the latter asked if tho back windows were absolutely burglar proof. Ho was assured that they were us nearly burglar proof as it was possible to make them and Mr. Compton stated that he was confident that in his present location of Court street no burglars could enter from the rear and that ho slept with a feeling of security. Both stores were burglarized the same night, two days later, and in both cuscs tho burglars en tered through the rear windows. The proprietors of the respective stores concluded that it was a stand off and neither would boast of a burglur proof store in the future.
